Trails slippery from fallen leaves. Felt strong on the uphills, dodging around the mountain bikers. Also let myself fly down some of the downhills. Seems to take less effort to allow gravity to do its work. Of course I may change my mind when I take a face plant onto an exposed root or rock.

Lots of fat squirrels. Hope they're ready for their winter ultra.

Lots of rain and wind. Very cold. On one uphill, running against the wind, it felt like I was on a treadmill. Good workout.

After hiding indoors last winter, I think I'm better prepared for running in the Canadian winter. I was still African last winter, but I've now had a year to acclimatize back to Canada so I should have no problem keeping motivated. Looking forward to doing some snowshoe running this year.
